What’s Included in the Bundle?
The F1 Cosmetic Team Set features branded outfits, gliders, and pickaxes with bespoke team branding from all 10 Formula 1 teams. Whether you’re loyal to Mercedes, Ferrari, Red Bull, McLaren, Aston Martin, Williams, Alpine, Haas, Racing Bulls, or Kick Sauber, you’ll find your team represented.
The collaboration doesn’t stop at outfits. Players get F1-branded Back Bling and a special Emote to celebrate Victory Royales in style. The trailer revealed a remote-controlled car emote, while the glider resembles an F1 car’s rear wing assembly and the pickaxe is designed as an actual F1 wheel—perfect for harvesting materials in motorsport style.
Why This Matters for Gaming and Racing Fans
Formula 1’s Chief Commercial Officer Emily Prazer explained the collaboration enables players to engage with the series 365 days a year and further their love of the sport. With over 650 million registered Fortnite players worldwide, F1 gains unprecedented access to gaming’s most diverse audience.
This partnership follows Fortnite’s successful Icon Series collaboration with seven-time F1 champion Lewis Hamilton. However, unlike that single driver feature, this cosmetic set allows fans to support entire teams—creating a more inclusive experience for the global F1 community.
Customization and Options
The collaboration features five default skins with options to switch out different colors and sponsors to customize each skin. This means you’re not locked into one team forever—mix and match to create your perfect racing aesthetic or swap teams based on current season standings.
Perfect Timing for Las Vegas GP
The November 20 drop strategically precedes the 2025 Las Vegas Grand Prix, capitalizing on peak F1 excitement. For racing enthusiasts who also love gaming, this crossover merges two passions seamlessly. Check our Fortnite collaboration guide for tips on maximizing your V-Bucks and Item Shop strategy.
While pricing hasn’t been officially confirmed, expect costs between 800-1,500 V-Bucks based on similar sports collaborations. Individual items and team bundles should both be available, giving players flexibility depending on their budget and team loyalty.

FAQs
Can I buy just one team’s cosmetics, or do I need the full bundle?
While Epic Games hasn’t released full purchasing details, past collaborations suggest both individual team items and complete bundles will be available. This lets you grab only your favorite team’s outfit or collect all 10 teams if you prefer.
Will there be F1 cars or racing modes added to Fortnite?
The official announcement only confirmed cosmetic items—no gameplay modes, vehicles, or racing tracks have been teased. However, Fortnite frequently expands collaborations after initial drops, so limited-time F1 racing modes could arrive in future updates based on this community.
